Easy Tense Chart

The document provides a chart summarizing the active and passive forms of tenses in English, including simple, continuous, and perfect tenses. For each tense in the active voice, it lists the subject, verb, and object. For the corresponding passive voice, it replaces the object with the subject and uses the appropriate form of "be" plus the past participle of the main verb. It notes that the perfect continuous tenses do not have a passive form. Additional notes explain key terms like past participle, base form, and present participle.
